LSU WR Jelani Watkins Plans to Enter Transfer Portal, Second Receiver in Two Days After Kiffin Hire

LSU retains a top-11 recruiting class that could cushion losses at wideout.

Overview

  • Watkins plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, his agent told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
  • The move makes him the second LSU wideout in two days to head for the portal after four-star freshman Kylan Billiot announced Monday.
  • Watkins is a dual-sport sprinter who ran a reported 10.02-second 100 meters and is represented by AiC CEO/GM Rudy Caamano.
  • He appeared in one game this season, recording two catches for 21 yards against Southeastern Louisiana.
  • Some coverage links the departures to Lane Kiffin’s arrival and Charlie Weiss Jr.’s offense, though that connection remains speculative.
